Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said Tuesday that once the CCP virus vaccines become available, they will be optional for the state’s K–12 public school students.

When asked at a press conference whether he is in favor of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for students and staff in K–12 schools, Lee replied that he does not foresee a mandate for Tennessee’s school systems.
